That sounds great Susan, and I have the KC server running on an LPAR here, (2.2) and using Softcopy Librarian V5 to load the contents, so where are all the 'other' books I'd like to load, DB2, MQ, IMS...to name a few? those KC books do not appear in any selection, .Boo or .PDF format for me to download. what am I missing?

From there, you can access all the different formats of the same product documentation. Every user has a favorite format for each situation, for example using the Indexed PDF collection for offline search and the KC for quickly navigating around and between many different deliverables and products. My own broken record statement is that we're constantly trying to improve how the Knowledge Center handles the extensive z/OS library of content. We always appreciate input, though. Even if your feedback regards something that we're already trying to implement, such as improved search, it's always welcomed. Let me know if you ever have any specific questions. -Sue Shumway On 05/03/18 6:16 AM, Elardus Engelbrecht wrote: > Sankaranarayanan, Vignesh wrote: > >> Whenever I search for anything mainframe-related on Google, the pages are >> almost always to v2r1 KC links. >> Although there's not too much difference in documentation between one >> release and another, just the non-IBM Plex font in v2r1 makes me manually >> change the URL each time. >> Sometimes, this doesn't work; the same page for another v2rx doesn't exist! > > They (other versions) are there.
